Saturday 3rd September

**Crisis management** · 27th August 2010, 18:25

The high commander is away next weekend and I have saturday free (not sunday, that's trail ride day) so who wants to do what?

I'm on for a ride north or south so either west coast / Raglan / Kawhia or west coast / Helensville / Muriwai / Puhoi.

I can guarantee rain and gravel, bring your own flavour of adventure, all and any (biologically possible) suggestions welcome.

You have until wednesday, that's when I choose a route and post it up.

Iain

Cold Kiwi for me.
Drag Dino out for a squirt.

Yeah keen, how about a Pouto Point mission?

**johannvr** · 27th August 2010, 20:05

I'd be ok for a north/west squirt. Will watch the thread & see which way it goes ... Saturday'd be the 4th of September tho

Depends on tide up there I think, also it's a bit of a haul just to get to north head.....I might be persuaded tho, I will have a look at a map & stuff.

The problem with having a few beers then posting......I blame an unreliable calendar!

So far it's two votes for north.

That'll be between my night shifts

After 9 months of NO income, I have finally found another job (fkn saga that was!) and so I won't have to sell the DR after all. Consequently, I would enjoy an outing and the D606 on the back needs finishing off. However, as you point out, Pouto is a long haul from here, especially with the viaduct down and so, boring as it may be, I would vote south.
However, I suspect the new job may get in the way of me showing up and so my vote may be worthless anyway. Will let you know closer to the time.

Yeah I reckon Pouto is a bit much for a casual saturday, I would we keen for some Muriwai beach/Pohoi backroads tho. 11:45am low tide on muriwai.

Seen as Iain's leading it will give me a chance to test my gears waterproofness before the NBA.............

I'm in and I vote south, I'd rather not go near the viaduct that weekend. Coromandel?

I saw that, watch your bed on the NBA.......

Having thought about it I'm leaning towards the north west, Muriwai and a drink at Puhoi, I did Coro a month or so ago and the NBA will take us down the south west coast.
You can get north of the city by coming past my place on SH20...........

Where's all these keen n00bs? Cary will bring his camera!
